Pillastro Primitivo Tasting Notes from Master of Wine Chris Burr
From right down in Puglia, Italy's deep south, the thick skinned Primitivo grape makes lovely juicy dark fruit wines, with spicy fig and raisin richness.
The Italians have perfected the sort of wine which goes with their local food, lots of pasta, tomatoes, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables.
This wine has huge appeal, it is round, soft, lush and superbly drinkable. A wine for red meat barbecues and roasts.
Pillastro Primitivo Tasting Notes
By Wine Expert, David Andrews, DipWSET
Pillastro Primitivo is instantly recognisable as Italian from the first drop. Made in the heartland of Primitivo territory, Puglia, known for its heavy hitting reds. This Primitivo is no exception. Plenty of bold fruit flavour with red cherry, plum and lighter raspberry notes are lifted by oaky notes of wood spice and vanilla.
